Tips Before You Go

• This is a primary care centre, not an emergency department — for life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately or proceed to Hotel Dieu of St. Joseph Hospital in Perth-Andover.
• Call ahead at 506-356-6600 to confirm provider availability and whether an appointment is needed before visiting, as not all providers are present during all open hours.
• The centre is closed on weekends and holidays — plan non-urgent health needs for weekdays when possible.
• Diagnostic services including blood work, X-rays, and physiotherapy are available on-site, potentially saving you a trip to a larger centre.
• If you require addiction, mental health, or public health services, these are available through Horizon in the Tobique and Perth-Andover area — ask staff about referrals.
